''what a brilliant layering idea'' indeed!That one looks fabulous! (just get rid of the fur with it)I'd deffinitely wear one with a long sleeved top or blouse, and as it gets to spring time with shorter sleeves or even none.

I think it is maybe just a clever way to attract attention to something that is fundamentally plain, having been used for so many centuries. By cutting the sleeves off the coat becomes obviously interesting, yet ridiculously cold.I say no to the sleeveless coat I'm affriad.x

Maybe not the most practical thing, but it sure looks good. I agree it would be a great layering piece. Just think of the textures one could show on one's arms. It would work in mild climates like mine.

I recently bought a fantastic sleeveless coat from Cos but when asked whether it was a practical solution to my winter coat issue, I had to confess that it was not practical. But it was excellent. I took it back (because I couldn't justify the price tag) but I'm hoping it'll be reduced in the sale because no-one else could possibly want a sleeveless coat. Right?

It may be a brilliant idea if you live in a place like Canary Islands.. were coats are merely decorative… but here in England, it's only October and it's getting quite cold.. Honestly I can't imagine January in a sleeveless coat..
